Apologies if this is repetitive, but here for some inspiration stories… I prepped hard for the first (phone interview) McK 30-min evaluative case study (Digital Associate role) but failed it cause I couldn’t calm my nerves… is it realistic to hope that with more hard work, I can at least make it to the final rounds next time round? Any tips to not be anxious for a phone interview?

I did too for McK implementation but ended up getting offers for all MBB generalist shortly after.

To be fair, the interviewer was a total d*ck and rude but whatever, their loss

Tip is to prepare yourself for it well, but don’t practice with a day or 2 from it.
Also take a 15 mins walk like an hour before, take deep breaths, learn to pause to think, …

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?
